Lyrics

[Chorus]
But in the magic cove, there's a pretty one
I asked her where it goes 'cause I really want
I wonder if she knows that we're underwater
That's the way it goes in this city wonder
[Verse 1]
Moved to the spot
I'm one of a few
A whole lot of everything but nothing to do
Tilted in a Tesla
Partner, ex-wrestler
He dates Francesca
They on the Xannies
Liposuction scheduled for Granny
She wants to save some, add to her fanny
Girls' trip, Miami at the end of the year
Polluted-filled skies, trying to think clear
I heard the bad news while I was shedding a beer
Watch out for them cults, Paul Revere
We all play our part in the devil's cheer
Run to the hills 'cause the end is near
[Chorus]
But in the magic cove, there's a pretty one
I asked her where it goes 'cause I really want
I wonder if she knows that we're underwater
That's the way it goes in this city wonder
[Verse 2]
Yo, a desolate city where it hurts to smile
Ran into the reverend, says it's been a while
I'm reining in a rando'
She's a social scandal
Give ourselves a handle when it's too much to bear
ABC Boys raided the mayor
Like Shaun, he's a Ryder
Took on the DARE
Now, he's singing like a birdie
Pulling on his hair
Trending on Twitter is what some of us live for
Friendships in and out, fucking revolving door
All of this a joke, Pauly Shore
Bullshit keeps coming, maybe I'm a matador
What are we living for?
[Verse 3]
Are we all losing our minds
Because life got in the way?
They will be here just in time
Your replacement is here to stay
[Refrain]
Ah
[Verse 4]
New gold
Fool's gold
Everything will disappear
Someone's
Out here
Who traveled far too many years
To nowhere
Nowhere
Nothing here is ever real
[Bridge]
New gold
Fool's gold
Everything will disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
[Chorus]
But in the magic cove, there's a pretty one
I asked her where it goes 'cause I really want
I wonder if she knows that we're underwater
That's the way it goes in this city wonder
[Bridge]
New gold
In the magic cove
There's a pretty one
I asked her where it goes 'cause I really want
I wonder if she knows that we're underwater
That's the way it goes in this city wonder
[Bridge]
New gold, fool's gold
In the magic cove, there's a pretty one
I asked her where it goes 'cause I really want
Everything will disappear
Someone's out here
I wonder if she knows that we're underwater
Who traveled far too many years
That's the way it goes in this city wonder
[Outro]
To nowhere, nowhere
In the magic cove, there's a pretty one
I asked her where it goes 'cause I really want
Nothing here is ever real
I wonder if she knows that we're underwater
New gold, fool's gold
Everything will disappear
That's the way it goes in this city wonder
